Playing the field
(Montreal Gazette) A History-Making Trip Lynn Partick, the Boston Bruins’ general manager, is going to make history of a sort when he goes to Europe next week on a scouting trip. No representative of a National Hockey League club has ever gone to Europe in search of talent up till now. “It’s getting more difficult to find good prospects in Canada from year to year,” Lynn explained here recently. “Hockey is improving over there all the time and maybe I can find somebody who can play in the National League. I’m going to take a look, anyway.” This all stems from the visit here last fall of Sven (Tumba) Johanssen, a member of the Swedish national team. Tumba, a forward, attended the Bruins’ training camp and then played five games with the Quebec Aces,…
Springfield Insurance Man Finds Goaling No Fun Without Insurance
SPRINGFIELD, Mass— One minute, he was in the stands enjoying the hockey game between Springfield and Buffalo. Fifteen minutes later he was on the ice tending goal for the visiting Bisons and putting himself in front of bullet-like professional shots for the first time. That’s the kind of night a young man named Hank Kasberian had at the Springfield Coliseum — and it shouldn’t happen to a pro, never mind an amateur like him.

He’s not known to hockey fans outside of amateur circles, where he formerly played for AIC and the Springfield Flyers.…
Hall Gets Closer To Chicagos’ Hall Of Fame In Zeros
CHICAGO, III.— Glenn Hall now ranks second only to the immortal Charlie Gardiner in Black Hawk history in shutouts racked-up in a single season. Gardiner, one of hockey’s all-time greats, holds the club record of 12 which dates all the way back to the 1930-31 campaign. Since then no Chicago net-minder has ever even got close, but Hall moved into a runner-up role February 16 when he stood out in an important 4-0 blanking of the champion Canadiens at the Stadium here. It was Glenn’s 7th shutout of the year with 16 Black Hawk games still remaining to be played. “He was great again,” credited Coach Rudy Pilous, “and he kept us in the game when they put on the pressure in the second period.” Hall came up with several amazing stops which…
